picture of a Detroit school at the headlines

This picture is of Robert Bobb and his corporate cohorts shaking hands over privatization plans and text book deals.  Bobb is now gone, but in his wake the public school system is a shadow of its former self.  The corporate gunslinger might be gone but the scent of Keith Johnson, the sell-out union boss has not left the room.

An important election is taking place in Detroit for the president of the Detroit Federation of Teachers.

Daily Censored has written about Detroit Teachers and their union for some three or more years.  You can google “Detroit Teachers: Canary in the coal mine” (http://www.dailycensored.com/detroit-public-schools-canary-in-the-coal-mine-of-public-education/) and (http://www.dailycensored.com/motor-city-robert-bobbs-ties-to-billionaires-boyz-club-exposed/) to see some historical information as to how Robert Bobb, the slick Elye Broad graduate, helped to destroy Detroit Public Schools with corporate democratic Governor at the time, Jennifer Granholm and the courageous resistance by teachers, students, unions, and By Any Means Necessary (BAMN).

Detroit now has a chance of opening a window to let the nefarious whiff of Broad and his charter school plans seep out.  Steve Conn is the progressive candidate in this race and you can click below to see more:
